Tuning:
Information for tuning the engine for optimal performance, including carburetor adjustments and ignition timing.
Depth:
Complete, from fundamental maintenance to in-depth repairs and rebuilds; covers information utilized by factory-trained technicians.
Engine Options:
Likely 2.4-liter and 3.4-liter XK straight-six engines (specific details would be within the manual).
Engine Design:
Jaguar XK engine family, a renowned inline-six overhead camshaft (OHC) design.
Performance Details:
The manual would contain detailed specifications for horsepower, torque, and engine tuning for both engine variants.
Engine Variant Performance:
2.4-litre: Approx. 70 bhp; 3.4-litre: Approx. 160-210 bhp (depending on tune and carburation).
Fuel System Coverage:
Covers Fuel Injection / Fuel System, implying detailed information on carburetors (e.g., SU HD6) or early injection systems if applicable, fuel pump, lines, and tank.
Carburetor Details:
Likely dual SU HD6 carburetors for the 3.4-litre engine; potentially single or dual for the 2.4-litre. Manual provides servicing details.
Oil Change Interval:
Typically every 3,000 miles or 6 months, but the manual will provide exact factory recommendations.
Engine Oil Specification:
Likely SAE 20W-50 or SAE 30 depending on climate and specific engine build. The manual will provide precise API classifications and viscosity grades.
Coolant Specification:
The manual will specify the correct type of antifreeze/coolant (likely ethylene glycol based) and its mixture ratio with distilled water.
